Freeport Brothers have recently purchased a process management

system. Cabling installed in the plant connects data collection nodes to a

central server. The costs of this system included the following:

Five data collection nodes $$4500$ each

New server $$6000$

$60-$metre cable $$11\mathrm{.}40$ per metre

Cabling hardware $$188$

Node software $$1190$ per node

Server software $$1950$

$10$ hours of hardware installer time $$20$ per hour

$25$ hours of software installer time $$60$ per hour

If Freeport Brothers wanted to calculate a replacement interval for such a

process management system, what would be the capital cost for the first year

at a depreciation rate of $30$ percent?
